Amy Winehouse immortalised as teapot

Amy Winehouse has been immortalised - as a teapot. The tragic Back to Black singer is one of a range of quirky ceramics that feature offbeat famous faces. Other subjects include teapot versions of Charles Manson, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il and, controversially, a Toby jug of Nick Griffin, leader of the UK right-wing BNP political party.They are the work of Seattle-based creative duo Charles Krafft and Mike Leavitt, who have based their ‘Pitchfork Pals’ project on tabloid personalities and dark characters. Mike explains: “Originally we were drifting towards characters from the tabloids. Eventually we broadened the theme to “evil”. We’ve always factored marketability and the visual striking-ness of a certain person’s likeness into our decision-making as well. –EN
